Question juridique clé
Whether the appeal was filed within the 3-month statutory deadline.
Solution extraite
No. A time limit in months is counted from date to date; the starting date is not counted twice. The period began on 10 September and expired on 9 December at 24:00, so filing on 10 December was late.
Motifs extraits
The court applied the rule for calculating a monthly deadline and held that the quantième is counted from the starting day to the corresponding day in the later month, without counting the starting day twice.
